BEAUTIFUL DARKNESS HC

(W) Fabien Vehlmann  (A) Kerascoet

A dark fairy tale about surviving the human experience. Beautiful Darkness is a harrowing look at the human psyche and the darkness that hides behind the routine politeness and meaningless kindness of civilized society. The sweet faces and bright leaves of Kerascoët's joyful watercolors only serve to highlight the evil that dwells beneath, as characters allow their pettiness, greed, and jealousy to take over. It a bleak allegory on the human condition; Kerascoët's and Fabien Vehlmann's work is a searing condemnation of our vast capacity for evil writ tiny.

BOJEFFRIES SAGA GN

(W) Alan Moore  (A) Steve Parkhouse

Jobremus Bojeffries is like any other father - trying to keep the peace in a house stuffed with two kids (Ginda and Reth), uncles Raoul and Festus, a baby and old Grandpa Podlasp. Never mind that one's a werewolf, one's a vampire, Grandpa is in the last stages of organic matter, and the baby puts off enough thermonuclear energy to power England and Wales. All right, they're no ordinary family. And this is no ordinary book, with stories spanning decades, a whole chapter written as light opera, a Christmas episode, and an all-new 24-page comic bringing the Bojeffries up to the present day. On every page, the wry and anarchic creativity of the creators shines through: Alan Moore's affectionate and penetrating grasp of human nature (and British culture) creates a kind of desperate poignancy in the characters, brought to memorable life by Steve Parkhouse's deft and articulate line work. It's all there, untutored, unpolished, ramshackle and always on the edge of collapse.

WOLVERINE #1

(W) Paul Cornell  (A) Ryan Stegman

WOLVERINE NO MORE?
After the events of KILLABLE, Wolverine has something to prove. Before he can take on Sabretooth again, he'll need to build himself back up, get better and stronger than he's ever been...but it's not as easy as he thought, and he'll soon find himself turning to other means of revenge when the normal channels don't seem to be working fast enough. Can he fight back his demons, or is this the beginning of a Wolverine who's gone to the dark side?

Ok, so I'm recommending this with the pretense that I have NO IDEA what happened to Wolverine previous to this, why he's a bad guy, why he no longer has a healing factor or why Marvel is acting like Wolverine on the wrong side of the law is a new idea...BUT what I DO know is that Ryan Stegman can draw the crap outta some super-hero books and after seeing his awesome rendition of Spider-Man 2099, I can't wait to see what he does to Wolvie! Also, if Wolverine doesn't shoot AND stab at least 20 people in this issue, well, you can say, "I told you that looked like crap."
